The gathering crowd made her nervous, she felt as if they were judging her and she couldn't bare it. Eyes darting to and fro she tried desperately to find an escape route amidst the throng of onlookers. They all seemed to be engrossed in the corpse that lay before them. If she left now they wouldn't catch her,would they?
A little old woman chose that moment to ask the question every person was dying to ask,"How did it get up there in the tree?".
"No, no it couldn't be murder ."said the officer. He was a stern looking man with a huge bush of hair above his upper lip. He looked quite scary, but beneath all the pretence he too cowered in fear.

The Gentleman Killer
INTRODUCTION: Missing person reports were just piling up one after another these days. But none of the victims were found alive. After the killer got what he wanted from victim's family, the next day person would be found dead. People are starting to move out from the city. It's gotten worse as hours passed. Phones are ringing at the police stations and 911 calls are getting more and more desperate. Not many things were found out about this town's killer. But, the way people are describing him- yes him- shows that they all see him as an old man called the Gentleman. He got this name from the way he puts his deceased victims bodies. Lying on their back, carefully placed, hair brushed and clean, face without any makeup, but covered with black veil, white nightie with small bouquet in their arms that are placed on their chest. Beautifully horrific sight if you ask me. They all appeared to be women in their early or mid 20s, brunettes with blue eyes, skinny and average height. The Gentleman is described as someone in his late 30s or early 40s, is into art, but mostly sculptures as he shows by placing his victims in recognizable positions. On most of dead women's necks could be seen small tattoos that were assotiated with life and death- butterfly with its wings painted like skull. That was all that we knew of the Gentleman until something happened few days ago...Complete
